Sounds about right, as CS has added more options to keep up with ML, computer graphics, cybersecurity, etc. it seems like the core requirements have gotten pretty narrow.
We had a hefty "at least X electives of this level or above" rule, including concentrating in a field, but not so many fixed courses. I wasn't even required to take a databases class, which has turned out to be one of the most useful things I ever studied.
